Dětská pneumologie – Pohunek Petr (2023)

A clear and clinically focused book with recommended procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in children and adolescents offers a number of practical tips for addressing both acute and chronic respiratory issues. The book includes general chapters (history taking, physical and laboratory examinations, functional lung tests, endoscopic examinations) and special chapters (infectious and chronic respiratory diseases, respiratory manifestations of selected extrapulmonary diseases, congenital developmental defects). Attention is also given to rehabilitation and spa treatment. The book in its new edition is completely updated, with entirely new chapters added (oncological diseases, non-invasive lung ventilation, pulmonary manifestations of oncological diseases, respiratory issues in immunodeficient states, COVID-19 and children's lungs, palliative care). A book of similar scope and depth on the topic of pediatric pulmonology has not yet been published in domestic literature. It is intended for postgraduate study and will appeal to pediatricians, general practitioners for children and adolescents, pediatric and adult pulmonologists, and allergists.
